A little bit about what you'll find reviewed here

A little bit about what you'll find reviewed on this blog: I believe the best books involve characters you wish you could read more about long after the book is finished. Recently, I've been searching for hidden gems from the past. I read mostly fiction, and I'm a bit of a prude. I don't normally enjoy books with sex or excessive language.

Who I am:
I raised two wonderful girls, and I'm super proud of them. I enjoy reading (of course), sewing, cross stitching, photography and writing. I live in the high desert portion of Washington (which I didn't know existed until my husband and I decided to move here) and have really enjoyed my time out here. I am excited to see what God has next in store for my life!

Good Afternoon Vietnam: A Civilian in the Vietnam War - Gary L. Wilhelm

I found this book on the eReaderIQ website when it was listed for free. With the length that it ended up being, I'm glad I got it when it was free. Not because it was bad, but because it was really short.

Gary was a civilian who was posted to Da Nang during the years of 1968 and 1969. The book is his memories of that time. Each memory only takes up a few pages and is often accompanied by pictures. Gary gets to see a few different countries since he can't contact his company inside the war zone, so a significant portion of the book is dedicated to his travels.

This book flew by. It didn't take long to read, but it was an interesting perspective from a different point of view. The pictures were a welcome addition, but they also contribute to the book being even shorter than the 109 pages you think it is. Overall, I enjoyed it. I just wish it was a bit longer.
